Why the Newmans is the trouser to reach for

Newmans · The Lazies

There is a version of this trouser in every shop. What separates the Newmans is the cloth: flannel, dyed classic grey, and finished without shortcuts.

How to wear it

It sits well under an unstructured jacket. Choose a tone that echoes classic grey rather than contrasts with it.

Fit

Proportions are simple. Nothing exaggerated, nothing cropped, and the length lands where it should for both trainers and leather shoes.

Fabric

The cloth is flannel. It keeps a little structure through the day, softens with washing and does not require ironing to look presentable.

Care

Iron inside out on a low setting. Direct heat on the surface can leave a shine that does not come out.

Worth knowing

Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.

In short: a flannel trouser that does its job. Worth knowing if you are replacing something worn out and want three more years from it.
